The von Reichenbach Palace (ruins), the first palace in Goszcz, was built between 1730 and 1740 on the site of a 12th-century castle. However, it was destroyed by a massive fire in 1749. Between 1749 and 1755, a new palace was built, designed by the Silesian Baroque architect Karl Martin Frantz. The entire manor-palace complex was grouped around a rectangular courtyard, the main axis of which was the palace building. Three entrance gates led to it. Until January 1945, the building belonged to the Reichenbach family, then it was occupied by Soviet troops and subsequently placed under the management of the local administration. On Christmas Eve 1947, a fire broke out in the palace. Despite the efforts of the fire brigade, the palace burned to the ground and was never rebuilt. In 2013, the Twardogóra commune authorities renovated some of the buildings on the western side of the complex, outbuilding I, palace servants' house I and the building connecting them.

The first Evangelical church was the burial chapel of the Borschnitz family, built in 1594. It was destroyed after Goszczany passed in 1605 into the hands of the Catholic von Dohn family. In the years 1633 -1637, Evangelical services were held in the parish church. During the reign of the Reichenbachs, services were first held in one of the rooms of the palace, in German and Polish (until the end of the 19th century). In 1741, Frederick II gave formal permission to hold independent Evangelical services and build a church. In 1743, the cornerstone was laid, and the church was consecrated in 1749. In 1752, two bells were hung on the tower. The church was renovated shortly before 1939, after 1945 it was no longer used. Late baroque with rococo elements.

The residence was built in 1852, funded by Wilhelm, Duke of Brunswick-Olesno, according to the design of the Polish architect and engineer Karłowski. The palace's facade is clad with rectangular sheets of cork oak bark imported from Portugal. The building was expanded in 1895 to include a southwestern section with a dining room, and in 1902-1903 to include a brick tower and a two-story northeastern wing. The facades of the added sections were clad with native oak bark. During the fighting for Wrocław in 1945, the palace served as a front-line hospital. After the war, it housed the Forestry Workers' Training Center (1949-1950), and then the Forestry Vocational Training Center (1950-1951). In 1951, the first women's Forestry Technical School in Poland, named after Bolesław Bierut, was established here. In mid-1975, the school was closed. That same year, the building was added to the register of historic monuments. Since then, it has operated as a Forest Training Center at the Antonin Forest District, and later as a hotel for forestry workers. Currently, it is privately owned. Unfortunately, the building is in poor condition.
